)Mexico sites on an island plateau (

高原

) surrounded by volcanic peaks,

which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there.

In

April,

the

country

took

a

decisive

step

toward

improving

air

quality

by

enacting

a

temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in

the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service

vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban.

Mexico City isn

’

t the first urban center to be involved in car-

free living. But the ban is more

than an awareness-

raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the

city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city

ordered some 1. 1m of the area

’

s 4. 7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway

rides.

Mexico City

’

s temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban

air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world

’

s dirtiest air, has tried a variety of

solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-

car purchases.

Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-

day rules in

advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London

congestion

(

拥挤

)

charge,

introduced

in

2003.

The

charge

has

had

a

measurable

effect

on

air

quality.

For now, Mexico City

—

named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet

in 1992

—

can look forward to the start of the region

’

s rainy season, when daily showers will help

to clean the air.
